DC09 - BMW & VW Show - 14th June 2009

[lunatixantix]

My point is that we have a wealth of experience and knowledge regarding our marques, both marques have different styles, but because of this lack of knowledge about each others there are things that we miss. This does not mean that any scene is richer than another, simply there is a lack of understanding that leads to a lack of appreciation.

Well put, couldn't agree more!

[aj_mckay]

Jeepster - I think you've hit the nail on the head there, very well put, totally agree.

[ImysE30]

Which stand was you on Sumpcracker, would of be nice to meet you?

+3 on what Jeepster said

[SUMPCRACKER]

I parked in the car park with another zoners cabby.
Then met up with some VW mates, i did stroll over the zone stand but i only met Dave318,

As for the above, im well into the vw scene and this is why i went, the bmws were just a bonus, i dont totaly agree with the above as most cars were special one offs in their own way.

[ImysE30]

You should have parked up with us on the stand

[Felix79]

Gutted I missed you Sumps buddy. Mine was parked on the end.

VW cars have so much more models and differences in style where BMW kept a desinctive look year after year with the whole range.

[initial_g]

mines got quite a dub look bar the rims

[ImysE30]

Yours is just mental G, i bet people sh1t themselves when they see you coming from behind

[Rav335uk]

They sure do, ask P Diddy

[initial_g]

lol that guy in the ibiza did on the way back!!!!

[Rav335uk]

Well as i have said, you do have an intimidating car, btw, what diff you running??

[ImysE30]

All 3 of them moved out of the way and gave the thumbs up

[Rav335uk]

You never got past , did you???

[ImysE30]

Oh yes i did

[Rav335uk]

Slowly, and on a hill???

[ImysE30]

Nope, flew past them at 120

[Rav335uk]

so about 100 then, me an P Diddy were at about 120-125

[ImysE30]

This was on the way back, not on the way there

[lunatixantix]

Nope, flew past them at 120

What happened to steady cruiser?

I was more awake, time to have fun

[Rav335uk]

With the wind behind him this time

[lunatixantix]

Took this on the way home... I would love to be able to say I was keeping up with them to take it, but alas, 4x zoom to catch the shot

[Rav335uk]

We ahd a bit more fun on the way home, on the slip road to the M40, some guy in a modded e36 thought he would give me a hard time passing him, mmmmmm, not so difficult when he blocked himself in on the inside lane , then some guys in a 306 were trying it on with us, went past them really close on purpose

[lunatixantix]

Wish I was heading northbound now

[The_Diddler]

It was fun on the way home i have to say

[lunatixantix]

It was a laugh back up to the M40, some of the peoples faces as we shot past them were proper Kodak moments, and a few smiles and gestures of appreciation, although you lot shot past so quick you probably didn't even have time to notice

[Felix79]

well for Iain and I the IS driver let us down cause he was too lazy to tighten his wheel nuts up and broke one off! Ended taking it steady back to mine for the repare.

For the short time we were all on it the sound of an Alpina and Hartge screaming along at full throttle is sublime. My Alpina is very quick but that H27 is capable of space travel!

I hope on the way to Monsport we get to unleach on some barryboys turds.

[Rav335uk]

God , can't believe Adit forgot to tighten them up, at his age mind, he does tend to forget things, Bless

Well don't think you'd have a problem there Dan, my 316 on the other hand

[adit]

God , can't believe Adit forgot to tighten them up, at his age mind, he does tend to forget things, Bless

i loosened them on purpose ladies
it's my usual fool-proof way to stop myself from blowing you all in your little six-pots into the weeds, because i know i just dare not put my foot down!

[ImysE30]

Good comeback

[Rav335uk]

Come on Adit, God does love a joker, come to think of it, so do most of us 6 pot boys

[Felix79]

Lol. Well at least I know the exhuast repair is strong and not leaking.

On Sunday I'm going to take it up to full throttle between didcott and Newbury I recon I'm going to get 140 on the gps if it is quiet enough.

[Gortour]

Fair comment Kam. Boring when everything looks the same.

Get the pink paint out then Gordon...!

I've only just got the back end green again...

And Adi...
